Road To Mercy

Road To Mercy, directed by Nadine Pequeneza, is a deeply moving documentary film that follows Canada’s journey into the furthest ethical frontier, where doctors are allowed to take a life and where society must decide under which circumstances they can.

Through the stories of patients who seek medically assisted death and the committed physicians who agree to help them, the original one-hour documentary chronicles Canada’s first legal doctor-assisted deaths and peers into the extreme boundaries of this practice.

Following stories in Canada and in Belgium, where assisted suicide has been legal for more than a decade, Road to Mercy reveals the moral and ethical quandaries at the heart of medical aid in dying.
